Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-inline] should `initial-letter` be plural?

This property exists to create properly-aligned larger letter(s) at the start of a block. In the typographic tradition they have always been called initial letters or drop caps; we chose the former as it covered more of the use cases. `initial-child` seems to describe what the property applies to, not what the property does. I think that term would be confusing for authors.
